The frost and snow in front of the Qingzhu Garden courtyard was as light as gauze, covering a layer of snowy carpet, reflecting a cool light.

Green smoke rose from the seven-treasure-patterned incense burner. The warm fire, accompanied by the whistling cold wind outside the door, was like a lullaby, making people want to fall asleep.

Behind the screen of "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix", Song Wanyin had just changed the medicine and looked down at the knife wound, which was like a wintersweet flower. She smiled faintly and said:

"Tiancheng, look, the doctor said the wound healed beautifully."

Tiancheng bit her lower lip tightly and carefully bandaged her wound, tears almost falling.

"Girl, you were stabbed for no reason and almost lost your life. How can you still laugh?"

Seeing her pouting, Song Wanyin doted on the tip of her nose and said:

"Well, look at you, you can hang an oil bottle on your little mouth."

Nanny Wei was sitting in front of the couch, sewing shoe soles. Ever since the old lady passed away, the burden of taking care of the girls fell on the shoulders of these old servants.

"Girl, the weather is getting colder and colder, and I see that the shoes on your feet are too thin.

I will make you a pair of thick-soled shoes, embroidered with your favorite pattern."

Song Wanyin's heart felt warm. When she thought that there were so many people who loved her around her, she decided to live well.

"Madame Wei, it's great to have you around. I can be myself again without restraint."

Madam Wei felt very sorry for her and choked up:

“Girl, since the Marquis’ Mansion treats you like grass, you will always be a treasure of our Grand Marshal’s Mansion.

After we leave here, let these ungrateful people from the Gu family regret it.

Anyway, now, all the servants who came as dowry in our Taiwei Mansion are unwilling to serve us.

Some maids and stewards in important positions strictly supervised the houses, estates, fields and shops under the name of the girls and did not allow people from the Gu family to interfere.

Especially the daily income, the deposit slips, remittance slips, and account books were basically all delivered by Manager Wu.

The Gu family won’t get a penny.”

At this moment, the door was suddenly kicked open and Gu Qingchen came in, exhausted, still in his official uniform, which was covered with snow petals.

"All of you get out of here! I want to talk to your master alone. Don't come in!"

Tiancheng and Nanny Wei saw that he had come with bad intentions and were very worried about the safety of their master, so they were reluctant to leave.

Song Wanyin put on her clothes neatly, looked at them and nodded, and they left, looking back every few steps.

Gu Qingchen had a cold face and angrily scolded:

"Song Wanyin, what do you want to do?

You deliberately sent the servants away from the mansion, and all the chores in the mansion are left there, with a whole family waiting to be served. How can this be disgraceful?

Also, were you the one who sent that famous doctor away?

You wanted to destroy my mother's life, causing her eye disease to relapse and making her suffer from extreme pain, so you resorted to this desperate measure.

This is clearly murdering your mother-in-law, you are committing an even greater crime!

I warn you, you'd better not test my patience.

Don't erase the last bit of guilt I have towards you.

Otherwise, you will spend the rest of your life guarding this lonely garden, living a life of widowhood."

Song Wanyin showed a hint of ridicule and said:

"Gu Qingchen, haven't I been living like a widow for the past three years?

It's the same with or without you. I never had any expectations from you.

You don't have to overestimate yourself.

Also, those slaves were brought as dowry and do not belong to your Marquis's Mansion, so naturally they will not obey your orders.

As for the famous doctor who treated your mother, he had his own right to choose and he saw through the indifference of human nature and the coldness of the world.

Even the famous doctors can’t stand the ugly faces of your Gu family.

Instead of looking for the reason within yourself, you come to me yelling and jumping up and down.

Don’t you think it’s ridiculous?”

Some time ago, Song Wanyin asked Tiancheng to deliver a note to a famous doctor overnight.

This is the annual Renshu Medical Conference, which brings together the world's best doctors. This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is hard to come by.

Those without background and connections can hardly get the valuable posts.

Song Wanyin had to find a disciple under her father's tutelage to get the post, and then gave it to the famous doctor in a way that pleased him.

After receiving the post, the famous doctor was grateful, but also felt indignant about what happened to Gu's family.

He also left Song Wanyin the costusroot pills that he had spent several months developing, which could relieve her angina symptoms.

From now on, we will part ways and I advise you to take care of yourself.

Seeing that she was eloquent and didn't look like a patient with a knife wound at all, Gu Qingchen said sarcastically:

"Song Wanyin, I really misjudged you.

It is only today that I see your true face.

You look weak on the outside, but you're actually vicious at heart.

I should be thankful that I met Lan Yue in this life. Only a woman like her who is magnanimous, beautiful and kind is worthy of me.

If you really don't want to be in charge, after Lan Yue comes in, let her take on the title of Marquise."

Song Wanyin said calmly:

"Very good, someone is willing to take over this mess in the Marquis's Mansion.

I am naturally willing to hand over the power of the family and let others be the scapegoat. "

Gu Qingchen was very angry with her, but he refused to give in, so he turned around and slammed the door and left.

Since these slaves who came as dowry are disobedient, we must find a way to get rid of them all.

With the strength of the Marquis's Mansion, it would not be difficult to recruit a new group of servants to serve in the mansion.

As for my mother's illness, there are so many famous doctors in the capital, I don't believe that all of them are useless.

If worst comes to worst, he could just go to the palace and ask the imperial physician to help treat his mother.

It’s not like the Marquis’ Mansion will stop functioning without Song Wanyin.

Tiancheng and Nanny Wei pushed the door open in a hurry. They heard everything they had talked about outside clearly.

"Miss, the Marquis is really going too far. He received the favor from the Grand Marshal's Mansion, but he actually repays the kindness with hatred."

"What I am most worried about right now is that after the young lady of the Jiang family marries, the young lady's life will become even more difficult."

Song Wanyin had her own plan in mind:

"Let's make it chaotic. The more chaotic the Gu family is, the better. Gu Qingchen will definitely bow down to me."

Gu Qingchen was in the corridor and saw from a distance Gu Qingye stumbling and running to catch up with the doctor.

"Fourth brother, what's going on?

What does the doctor say about my mother's illness?

Gu Qingye came running over in a panic, tears streaming down her face, saying:

"Brother, the doctor said that we should seek help from someone else for Mother's illness. He can't cure it."

At this time, Gu Qinghe and Gu Qingzhi came over with serious expressions.

Gu Qinghe said unhappily:

"Brother, look at the wife you married, she is becoming more and more spoiled.

My garden is almost full of dirty clothes, and these damn servants only serve dishes according to the dishes.

How can I live without someone to wash my clothes, cook my meals, and take care of my daily life? "

Gu Qingzhi suddenly had an idea and said:

"Brother, see if you can get some more money from the account office.

At worst, we can buy some servants to serve us in the mansion, and we won’t have to look at my sister-in-law’s mood anymore.

The eldest brother is like a father, and in the end, it is you who makes the decisions for our Gu family."

Gu Qingye's eyes lit up and he echoed:

"Brother, the dowry of my sister-in-law has long been part of the Gu family, so it shouldn't be a problem for you to take out some silver.

I'm a little short of money lately, and I'm hoping my brother can help me out a little.

This way, I can also run errands to find a doctor for my mother."

Gu Qingchen never expected that Song Wanyin would actually dare to do it for real. Now it depends on who can win.

"I will find a way to raise the money. After all, I am a well-known general of the Zhen army.

I will never bow down to a woman."
